Captain Todd was excellent

Half Day Trip (AM)4 adults2 children

Had an incredible half-day fishing charter with Captain Todd Philcox at Salty Charters of Jacksonville. Captain Todd was exceptionally attentive throughout the trip and put us right on the fish from the start. ​He worked hard to move us to a number of different spots, which allowed us to catch all the fish we needed early. We landed a great number of redfish, along with some nice jack crevalle and speckled trout. On top of the great fishing, Captain Todd was fantastic with our 10 and 12-year-old kids, keeping them engaged and helping them out the entire time. ​I would definitely recommend Salty Charters to anyone looking for a great day on the water, and we would certainly use them again!

    Unbelievable fishing

    Half Day Trip (PM)2 adults

    To say this was a productive trip is a huge understatement. Captain Todd not only led us to great fishing (redfish - primarily), but incredible guidance and kindness. He knew the waterways really well and we never stopped catching quality fish from the time we started fishing until the trip was over. He will definitely see me again when I return to Jax Beach this fall. We caught reds up to 33 inches, trout, flounder, and jacks. Incredible trip and Todd led us to great fishing. Thanks, Tim, Brandon, and Steve

    Response from Captain

    Great day on the water

    Half Day Trip (AM)2 adults

    My son caught the largest fish of his life. A 40-inch Redfish. It was incredible and captain Todd coached him all the way through it. Fishing was solid overall but the memory watching & taping Brandon with a 40-inch Red is priceless. Thanks Skipper.

    Outstanding charter!

    Half Day Trip (AM)2 adults

    Captain Todd is fantastic! We charter a lot and this was likely our best. Todd had us on good sized redfish within 10 minutes of leaving the dock. Kept it interesting too with more spots offering more variety (flounder, jacks, catfish, and tried for sea trout). We caught all morning. Everything is new and clean. We will be back again to charter with Todd
